Disney Trip 2024 - Last Day at DCA & Disneyland

This day we started at Disney's California Adventure Park.  We wanted to ride the Cars ride together as a family, so we decided to go to that ride first, along with almost everyone else in the park.  

Tyler and Josh are fast walkers, so they went on ahead of us to get us a closer spot in the line.  We thought the line would wrap around the outside of the ride que for a while and we could join them there, but they were able to go in the line of the ride.  So, the rest of us got in line and watched out for them.  We really thought that they probably would have already made it to the front of the line, but then we found them about to make their way up the ramp towards the last part of the ride.  So, Allie and I went first to join them (so we weren't all going at the same time) and then when we turned Tony, Margie and Megan were able to get in line with us.  We were very thankful for our fast walkers who probably saved us 15 minutes of wait time and Margie went by herself so that we could get a picture with all six of us in the car.

We noticed the single rider line was so short, almost non-existent so we decided to single ride it again.  Allie was not willing to single ride it, so Tony took her on Mater's ride while the rest of us single rode the ride.  We then met up with Tony and Allie to ride Mater as a group.  

Tony then went to single ride Cars with Margie, Tyler, and Josh while Megan, Allie, and I stayed and rode Mater again.  Three times on Mater for Allie, lucky girl.

After we went to ride Toy Story Mania.  We all love that ride.  It was kind of a wait, but not too bad.  After the ride we noticed that the line was short, so Allie and I went on it again while the others went on the  Incredicoaster.  After Allie and I went for a ride on the carousel and when we got off, they were done on the Incredicoaster.  All so fun.

We then wanted some lunch at the taco place in SanFranSokio.  Margie, the boys, and I all wanted tacos, but Tony, Megan, and Allie wanted something else from the neighboring restaurants.  So, I got us a place to sit while Tony waited in line for Allie and his food and he mobile ordered our tacos.  Then Megan's food was from a totally different place, so Tony waited in that line.  Once the boys were done eating, we sent them over there to wait for Megan's food so that Tony could eat.  It was kind of crazy, but everyone got what they wanted. And it was all good.

We then single rode Web Slingers and watched the different entertainment in Avengers Land.  We saw the Wakanda ladies and the Spiderman show-thing.  Both short but entertaining.  We then made our way to get shakes to share, yummy stuff.  

The boys then wanted to go single ride Incredicoaster so they did that while we went to the turtle talk.  It is always so funny.  I am sure we did more stuff, but that is all remember at DCA.  We then decided to go over to Disneyland.

We took pictures by the flower Mickey (a lot less busy in the late afternoon).  We rode rides and had a great time.  We had dinner at Big Bear and then decided to walk by the Rise of the Resistance ride to see if maybe it opened up by the time we got there (because it had been down).  We got lucky and it had just opened.  So, we got in the line and rode that ride one more time.  It was great.  We then went and rode It's a Small World one last time too.  Allie was super tired by this time and was ready to go back.  

I told her we could get on the train, and it would take us to the front of the park, or we could walk to the front.  She wanted to ride. We then said our goodbyes to the rest of the group who all wanted to stay, and Allie and I went to wait for the train.  It didn't take too long, and we were on the train.  We then walked back to the hotel where we showered and started to get us all packed up and ready to leave the next day.  The others stayed almost until the park closed.  They were able to ride lots of rides and they all had a great time.  

The next morning, we finished packing and got all checked out of the hotel.  We drove to Cedar City without any problem and very little traffic problems (thankfully).  We ate dinner at IHOP and then relaxed the rest of the night.  The next morning, we drove the rest of the way home without any problems.  It was such a great trip and we loved it.  We are so lucky and blessed that Margie takes us on these amazing trips.  So many core memories were made.
